Tang Ning argued with Butcher Zheng for the first time about her innocence, but he just laughed and stopped talking.
In another room, Li Tianlan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning.
There was only one bed in the inn, and she and Wan Yanyan each occupied half of it.
A quarter of an hour later, Wanyan Yan, who was sleeping inside, finally couldn't help it anymore and said dissatisfiedly: "Can you sleep peacefully? If you don't sleep, you won't sleep, and will you let others sleep?"
Li Tianlan reached out and touched her sleeping point, and she fell asleep quietly.
Li Tianlan put his hands behind his head and looked quietly into the dark room, his clear eyes flashing in the darkness, like the stars outside the window.
…
Tangning got up early the next day and knocked on the door next door. She saw that Wanyanyan and Li Tianlan were also awake. Wanyanyan looked energetic, while Li Tianlan looked a little depressed.
He put the breakfast he bought on the table, looked at Li Tianlan, and asked, "I didn't sleep well yesterday. Could it be that she snored while sleeping?"
"You..." Wan Yanyan was washing her face and was about to get angry. She thought that she was no match for him, so she had to endure it.
"I'm fine." Li Tianlan walked to the table and said, "I'll go out to collect information in a while. You wait here."
"Okay." Tangning responded, but sighed inwardly. She had actually forgotten what happened yesterday. It seemed that in her heart, only national affairs were important.
After breakfast, she walked out of the inn.
Tangning didn't go out with her this time. There were a lot of things to do tonight, and he had to make some preparations in advance.
Tang Ning was mixing some medicinal powder. Wan Yanyan walked around him curiously. While Tang Ning was mixing the medicine, she asked casually, "What would you do if a man accidentally kissed you?"
After all, Lao Zheng is a butcher who only knows how to kill pigs but not women. It is better to ask a woman about this kind of thing. Although Wan Yanyan can only be regarded as half of it, she is more reliable than Lao Zheng.
Wan Yanyan glanced at him and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"Who else is here besides you and me?"
Wan Yanyan thought for a moment and said, "Either marry him or kill him. Only my husband can kiss me."
Tangning asked curiously: "You prairie women also care about these things?"
Wanyanyan snorted and said, "I care!"
Tangning shook her head. It seemed that the first kiss was indeed very meaningful to a girl. She didn't even care about being spanked, but she would care about this.
Wan Yanyan seemed to have thought of something. She took two steps back, looked at Tang Ning, and asked warily, "What do you want to do?"
Tangning comforted her and said, "Don't worry, you are very safe. I have no thoughts about you."
Wan Yanyan thought for a while and said angrily: "What do you mean!"
Women are just like that. It doesn't matter if they have thoughts about her or if they don't have any thoughts. They are indeed the most difficult creatures to understand in the world. Even the little wild horses on the grassland are not immune to this.
Li Tianlan came back at noon, walked into the room, and said, "I have found out the addresses of those people. We will take action after dark."
Wan Yanyan looked at them and asked, "What are you going to do when it gets dark?"
Tangning knocked her on the head and said, "You are a prisoner. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Wan Yanyan glared at him and looked away, wondering what she was thinking.
…
As a fiefdom of the King of Zhou, Cangzhou, the center of this rebellion, had been in a state of chaos many days ago.
Especially in the past few days, the imperial court's counter-rebellion army is about to arrive, and the atmosphere in the city has become even more solemn. It is still dark, and there is no one on the street except the patrolling soldiers.
The troops assembled in the five states have already returned to the city, waiting for the upcoming battle. Although many soldiers and generals are unwilling to rebel, the military orders are overwhelming. After dozens of lives were wiped out by the general, the army
Several mutinies were suppressed with blood, and no one dared to disobey orders again.
A mansion somewhere in the city.
A young general in armor huddled on the ground in pain, veins popped up on his forehead, and his whole body was twitching. He endured the pain in his body, climbed up with difficulty, took a medicine bottle from the table, and poured it out.
Swallowed a pill.
After a long time, his breathing gradually calmed down, and the flush on his face faded. His whole body looked like he had been fished out of water, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
He poured a cup of tea, and just as he picked up the cup, he suddenly turned around, looked at a corner of the room warily, and said loudly: "Who!"
At some point, there were already two figures, a man and a woman, in the room.
When he saw the appearance of the woman on the left clearly, his legs weakened, he knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Princess..."
Li Tianlan stepped forward and said, "There is no need to say anything more, General Xu. King Zhou has already told me everything that happened in Cangzhou."
The young general lowered his head and said: "Princess, I know that my crime is unforgivable. Xu's death is not a pity, but the soldiers in Cangzhou are innocent. Please let me stay alive for a few more days until the imperial army arrives."
, Xu ordered his soldiers to leave the city and surrender. If the soldiers were driven by the rebel generals, they would surely suffer heavy casualties, and the imperial army would also suffer casualties..."
"I know General Xu was forced." Li Tianlan looked at him, then looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "Can he be saved?"
Tangning looked at her and said, "Remove that?"
Just now, when the poison in the young man's body was moving, he had already seen that what he was hit by was probably a poison, not poison.
Poisons are not divided into different categories. There are many types of poisons, such as the epilepsy poison that Tang Ning once used, which spreads toxins through bites. Some poisons lurk in the human body and wander around.
It can destroy all the five internal organs of the human body, and there are also poisonous insects that lay eggs in the human body and absorb nutrients. When the eggs break the body, it will be difficult for gods to save them.
The king of Zhou and the young general fell into the second category.
Tang Ning took out a small jade box from her sleeve. This was the ultimate treasure Su Mei had given him.
He opened the jade box and took out an inch-long insect with a crystal-clear body.
This insect looks like a silkworm but is not a silkworm. Su Mei said that this is the "ice silkworm voodoo", which is the king of voodoos. It can be attacked and defended. If you attack, nothing can be defeated. If you follow the rules, hundreds of voodoos can't invade. What about centipede voodoo and yin snake voodoo?
In front of it, it is completely trivial.
Just feeling the breath of ice silkworm Gu, they will become restless and run away from their host.
Tang Ning looked at the young general and said, "Reach out your hand."
Although the general didn't know his intention, he looked at Li Tianlan and obediently extended his hand.
Tangning placed the ice silkworm in his palm. The young general stared at it for a moment. Suddenly his expression changed. He covered his chest and vomited out black blood.
Within the dirty blood, there was an insect as long as a finger and as thick as a chopstick that was constantly squirming.
Tangning pulled out the long knife on the table, cut the insect in half, and then took the ice silkworm Gu back.
He looked at Li Tianlan and said, "His poison is gone."
When the general vomited such disgusting insects from his body, he leaned on the table and kept retching. He rinsed his mouth with a pot of tea, and his complexion became slightly better.
He knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Thank you princess for saving me. General Xu Ling will be sent by the princess!"
Li Tianlan said: "You prepare your troops in the mansion first, and we will notify you after we rescue the others."
The young general looked at her and gritted his teeth and said: "Princess, several generals want to save, but Zhang Dayuan must die. He has already taken refuge with those grassland people and killed several of my soldiers. If he does not die, the spirits of the killed soldiers will not be able to do anything in heaven."
rest in peace!"
From the young general, Tang Ning learned that Zhang Dayuan was originally the general of Cangzhou. After being kidnapped by the grassland people, he took the initiative to join them and killed several generals who were unwilling to rebel. In order to protect themselves, others also
In order to be able to control the soldiers and generals under his command, he could only pretend to agree first.
The reason why hundreds of grassland barbarians were able to take control of Cangzhou so quickly was attributed to General Zhang.
Li Tianlan nodded and said, "I understand."
The young general bowed and said: "General, please prepare your troops and wait for the princess to send you!"
